Friday, October 23, 2009Xoar Props delivery update
As many of you know we have been having backorder issues with Xoar props. These are great props and in fact this company makes private label versions of these fine props for many companies. We are a large supplier of their props and are working with them on the delivery issues that they have had. I wanted to share the note we received on 09/25/09 as an update to their delivery situation.
"As you may be aware Xoar Intl is a full sized propeller manufacturer who carry out a significant amount of work for the UAV market. The great thing about this is that the model propellers they produce benefit from their research technology - hence the performance they deliver.
The factory has been going through the final stages of ISO accreditation, whilst in the long run this will further enhance the quality of the product they produce, in the short term it has resulted in production delays.(Xoar are the only Chinese company to have this accreditation, they have worked hard to achieve it and it is something they are very proud of).
I have recently returned from a trip to the factory and can assure you of their absolute commitment to delivering a top quality product in the most timely manner. I was hugely impressed by the time and effort that goes into producing each individual prop!
We very much appreciate your patience during this period. The certification process is now complete and production is back up to speed, our orders have priority and we fully expect deliveries to resume in the next couple of weeks."
With the above being said, I was told on 10/21 that the next shipment is due to arrive before the end of the month.
I apologize for the delay and will ship the same day we receive them.

Friday, October 16, 2009What's for a snack before flying?
Running a marathon, grab a carbohydrate bar. Lifting weights, gulp a protein shake. But climbing into a fighter jet? Butter-soaked lobster might help. That was the surprising finding of a new military-funded study that sought to figure out what types of foods were best for pilots when missions restricted when or what they could eat. University of North Dakota researchers found that pilots who ate the fattiest foods such as butter or gravy had the quickest response times in mental tests and made fewer mistakes when flying in tricky cloud conditions. High-carb diets trumped high-protein in performance tests. Read more by clicking here

Wednesday, October 07, 2009October Sickness
A long time but distant friend was visiting me last week as were trying to finish up one aspect of our new website. He had a nasty cold and now I have it but we were (mostly him) able to get the job done and I think you will like the results when we launch the new site which BTW should only be in a couple of days.
